FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT - NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX DRAMA
'IF HEMINGWAY HAD THE PASSION FOR POOL THAT HE HAD FOR BULLFIGHTING, HIS HERO MIGHT HAVE BEEN EDDIE FELSON' TIME
The novel that inspired the legendary Paul Newman film, The Hustler tells the story of Fast Eddie Felson, a young pool player who hustles suckers in small towns, looking for stake money so he can reach his goal: a marathon match in Chicago against Minnesota Fats.
A classic of American fiction, The Hustler is an exploration of guts, stamina and character, and one man with a talent for life in smoky poolrooms.
